Going from the lab into the fire to study cancer risk in wildland firefighters
Cancer researchers at the Sylvester Firefighter Cancer Initiative (SFCI), part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, took a rare step to better understand the cancer risks wildland firefighters face: They became wildland firefighters themselves. The firsthand expe
Most breast imaging facilities in both high- and low-deprivation areas offer digital breas
New research has found that digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) availability at breast imaging facilities is similar across low- and high-deprivation areas, but facilities in low-deprivation areas are significantly more likely to offer weekend appointments, which may affect access
AI test predicts breast cancer recurrence in hours, not weeks, across 3,500 patients
In recent years, notable advances have been made in diagnosing and treating breast cancer. However, its recurrence continues to plague thousands, deepening the need to find ways to better predict the likelihood of its return.
Just one exposure to cocaine alters mouse brain cells for 2 weeks, research reveals
Researchers studying the impact of cocaine in mice have found that just one exposure to the drug can create changes in brain cells that persist for at least two weeks. Their findings were presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026.
How skimping on sleep leads to weight gain
People who shortened their sleep by around 80 minutes a night for six weeks gained weight—1 pound on average—and were more sedentary, researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons found.
Astrocytes help preserve memories for weeks by stabilizing neural circuits
Some memories remain with us for years, shaping how we learn from experience and adapt to the world around us. Others disappear quickly, even when they once seemed important. Although scientists have long studied how memories are formed in the brain, far less is known about what
Long hours, lack of social support undermine caregivers' well-being, study finds

Forget GLP-1s—GLP-3s show promise in phase 3 weight loss and diabetes trial
Phase 3 clinical trial results (TRANSCEND-T2D-1) published in The Lancet report that retatrutide, an investigational once-weekly injection for diabetes management, can significantly improve blood sugar levels and lead to substantial weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes. The
Hepatitis E viruses mutate early during infection
Knowing how viruses change in the initial weeks of an infection can provide important information about their adaptability. Researchers from the Departments of Molecular & Medical Virology and Translational & Computational Infection Research at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, ha
Simple digital check-ins improve outcomes for cancer patients, study finds
New results from an Alliance Foundation Trials (AFT) study reveal that a simple weekly electronic symptom check-in with their care team significantly improves the quality of life for individuals undergoing treatment for advanced cancer. The study found that the biggest improvemen
